With the increased popularity and miniaturization of Wi-Fi spy cameras, privacy in hotels is on everyone’s mind. According to a recent article in Forbes magazine entitled, “Why you should start screening for hidden spy cameras when you travel“, concern over SPY cams in hotels and vacation rentals can no longer be dismissed as far-fetched. There has been a steady stream of news stories regarding travelers discovering hidden cameras in items such as smoke detectors, alarm clocks, chargers, and even shampoo bottles. Last year there was an arrest after someone illegally live-streamed over 1600 hotel guests. The article went on to state that 6 in 10 Airbnb guests were concerned about the use of hidden cameras in vacation rentals and 1 in 10 guests had actually found hidden cameras in their rental.

It is with these alarming statistics in mind that Streetwise Security Products introduces the Spy Spotter Hidden Camera Detector. This new security gadget is simple to use. You simply look through the lens and the flashing red LED lights will spot even pinhole-sized spy cameras inside clocks, lamps, picture frames, and phone chargers, fans, electrical outlets, DVD players, air fresheners, and more. The rechargeable Spy Spotter is the perfect travel companion to ensure your room or rental is free of spy cameras. You can hang it on the door and use the motion detection feature to alert you if someone tries to enter. When traveling to and from your destination, this feature can also be used to protect your luggage, laptop, or anything of value. If the object being protected moves, an alarm will sound and red lights will flash, scaring the thief away and alerting you.
